#cavendish home for boys and girls

[now-imstruggling-tofreemyself]

i think it'd be really impactful if in Cavendish home jacqueline isn't even that good of an artist. she's just a kid who doesn't pay attention during school and draws on herself.

and when she comes back from the Cavendish Home, she's better at drawing. she doesn't draw scribbled spiders or badly drawn insects anymore. everything she draws is good, but it lacks any passion.

her parents will say she's improved wonderfully.

you think god loves you until the very moment when you start getting obsessed with a piece of media no one in the last five years has Ever thought about

[cyanide-sodapop]

there’s an AU where I never read any of my favorite books with immaculate vibes that inspired me to be like “yep. I like that style of writing. I’m doing that”

[ichverdurstehier]

Miss Cavendish's home for boys and girls is better than Coraline IMHO

Just saying

[iamonlypartlymajestic]

I'm very very slowly but surely writing a Cavendish Family (TPFF) fic

I want to write a 5+1 type fic where different people react to a (late 20s- early 30s-looking) Leyland with his family (early 40s Martha and early 20s Michael). I've only written one POV so far (under the art) and idk when I'll get back to it because I have exams again soon *cries* i just wanted to put it out there in case i don't get to finish it so i hope you enjoy reading it ╮(￣▽￣"")╭ [thanks to the SFTH discord for helping me with ideas]

FANFIC BELOW

Barbara, the department store employee:

“Hey Barb, check that hunk out.” In the middle of counting lipstick tubes, Barbara startles and looks up at her coworker.

“Huh?” Barbara narrows her eyes at Carol from her squat position. Carol had her back to her, resting her arms on the counter facing the rest of the store. Barbara immediately returns to her task, only to realize she had forgotten which row she was on. “Jeez Louise, Carol! You went and made me lose count. Now I have to start all over again.” 

Carol rolls her eyes and grabs Barbara’s upper arm, almost causing her to lose her balance, and directs her away from the back shelves to the front of the counter. Barbara scans the department floor not knowing what’s so special this time. 

Once more, elderly Mrs. Owens hobbles through the fragrance section, gathering an excessive number of blotters. Barbara scrunches her nose at the thought of the overpowering mix of scents that would assault any unsuspecting bystanders nearby. 

A few aisles from the old woman is a gaggle of girls perusing summer dresses. Barbara sighs at the sight, she misses how carefree she was at sixteen. In her scuffed high heels and with her aching back, she’s feeling her 28 years of age. 

Barbara reminds herself to call her mother again tonight (and dreading another talk about the lack of grandchildren) when Carol’s cherry red stiletto-tipped nails grabs her chin and points her face towards the other side of the shop floor. 

She inhales sharply at the sight of a handsome man around her age walking frantically through the aisles of clothes. Even from this distance, it’s easy to see that he had a cute boy-next-door face and thick dirty blonde hair in a longer cut that rather than make him look disheveled, seems to almost tempt you to reach out to push his hair back for him. 

Now he’d be someone you’d want to take home to meet your mother.

“Carol! I think he’s heading towards us!” Barbara shakes her face out of Carol’s grasp and brushes non-existing lint off her uniform. Beside her, Carol turns around and pulls out a compact to check her makeup. 

They just barely finish tidying themselves up when the blonde man reaches their counter with a strained smile. 

Up close, he’s even more dashing. Although he isn’t very tall—in the heels she’s wearing, Barbara estimates she reaches his height already—it’s apparent that he is quite fit under his long-sleeved dress shirt, the fabric contouring around the shape of his biceps. 

Ugh, he even smells good with his Aqua Velva aftershave. 

“Um, hello! Yes, very sorry to bother you.” The man taps nervously on the countertop and clears his throat, “I was just in the middle of looking for a gift for my wife—”

Of course, he’s married. Barbara isn’t ashamed to admit that her enthusiasm waned slightly at the news. 

“—but I seemed to have lost my son.”

Carol gasps loudly, “Oh no! Where was the last place you saw him?” Barbara barely keeps herself from rolling her eyes as Carol places her hand on the man’s forearm and leans even farther over the counter to get closer to him. 

Unfortunately for Carol, the father is too busy panicking about misplacing his son to notice her sad attempts at flirting. 

Barbara clears her throat loudly and not very gently shoulder-checks her coworker to the side, “What’s his name, sir? We can first call him over the intercom. Is he old enough to know what to do if he gets lost?”

“His name’s Michael! Michael Cavendish. Thank you so very much.” He brushes his bangs back from his forehead and chews his bottom lip, “My little boy is very independent, but I just worry so much for him. I’ve already lost him before…and for so long.” He dips his head causing his hair to drop back over his eyes. 

“We’ll call him overhead. And while one of us waits here, the other can help you look for him. Maybe the security personnel may have found him already.” Barbara gives him a sympathetic smile and motions her head to Carol to head to the intercom, “Mr. Cavendish, what’s Michael wearing? So we can ask around if anyone noticed him.”

Mr. Cavendish perks up slightly, “Well he’s wearing a white T-shirt and denim trousers. Oh! And also my old leather jacket.”

Barbara gushes at the idea of a little kid wearing an oversized jacket. “I imagine he looks quite dapper in your jacket.” 

Mr. Cavendish nods rapidly, “Quite so! He’s the most handsome young man around!”

“How old is your son by the way? Is he still in primary school?”

Mr. Cavendish shakes his head, “Oh no, he’s—”

They’re interrupted by Carol, who bats her eyes toward him and says, “I can help you look for him around the store, Sir.” 

Barbara stares at her shameless coworker in disbelief, Carol has the gall to even brush her fingers along her sprayed updo, flirtatiously. 

Mr. Cavendish turns toward Barbara with pleading eyes.

Barbara smiles awkwardly in return, “Carol, I can help him. He’s already told me what Michael looks like.” Barbara waves towards the back, “And maybe if Michael comes here, he would recognize your voice from the overhead.”

Carol narrows her eyes, “But if you were waiting here, you can continue with inventory. Didn’t you say you were so busy with the counting?”

 Barbara’s jaw drops and she angrily whispers, “There’s a lost child, Carol!” She takes a step closer to the other woman, “We don’t have the—”

“MICHAEL!” 

Both women simultaneously turns toward Mr. Cavendish who rushes away from the counter and to the figure walking casually toward them.

But rather than hugging a little boy, he’s hugging a fully grown man taller than him. The shorter man flutters around “Michael”: cupping his cheeks to check his face and straightening out the leather jacket lining his muscular shoulders. After a solid minute of inspection, Mr. Cavendish places his hands on his hips and looks to be scolding the other man. 

The man—who looks more in place cruising dive bars with his roughed-up leather jacket and scruffy facial hair than here in the women’s section of a high-end department store—takes the chiding with no argument, his hand gripping the back of his neck in embarrassment. 

Both women stare in bafflement as Mr. Cavendish latches himself onto the man’s arm and drags him to their counter. 

“I’m so, so sorry for all of the trouble!” Keeping one hand clutched to the fabric of Michael’s jacket, he gives both employees a handshake, “Thank you so much for your help. And sorry about him, he's been a troublemaker since the day he was born!” His smile widens boyishly. 

Barbara opens her mouth, but can’t find herself able to voice her myriad of questions. 

Michael then speaks up, “I told you I was going to leave the store for a moment to grab something for the bike. I didn’t know you were too busy looking at bags for Mum to not have heard me.”

Mr. Cavendish raises a finger at the other man’s face, “Now don’t take that tone at me, young man.” He quickly drops his hand, however, and sighs, “You had me worried sick!” 

Michael droops his shoulders, “I’m sorry, Dad. I won’t do it again.” Barbara thinks his hangdog look is comical with his large intimidating build, but Mr. Cavendish falls for it immediately and hugs him. 

“That’s all right, son. I was just frightened, I’m not angry with you.” Mr. Cavendish gives Michael a pat on the back and they walk off, holding hands. “Just help me choose from the few I picked and we’ll go and get some ice cream! Would you like that?”

Barbara, rooted at her spot, watches them until they once again disappear amongst the racks of clothes and accessories.

She hums. 

Carol opens her mouth, “What the hell—”

“Nope!” Barbara pivots her black pumps and heads back to her shelves of cosmetics, “I’m going back to counting lipsticks.”

With a smile your eyes meet Zoro's who places his hand on your cheek wiping away the joyful tears that slip out of your eye "You ok baby?" The swordsman asks with a small smile happy to have you back but still worried about how tired and injured you are. "Thank you" It's all you could say, words can't describe how happy and thankful you are to be with the two you love again and back on the ship you call home, with the people you call family. Pulling Luffy's face out of your neck, you hug the two of them properly running your hands through their hair feeling how soft it is, Luffy lets his arms go back to normal before wrapping them around the both of you and kissing your cheek. "I love you both" you whisper with a big smile kissing their shoulders making Zoro sigh in relaxation leaning into you kissing your head while running his hand up and down your back "I love you too baby" The swordsman whispers back while Luffy lets out a small laugh squeezing the both of you a little "I love you too", looking up threw teary eyes you can't help but spot the girls laughing and smiling while hugging members of the crew, it brings warmth to your heart knowing that they are now safe and can live their lives again. Sakura looks up from where she's hugging Cavendish and waves at you before running over soon followed by the other girls "Y/n, Thank you so much" Sakura yells running over with tears forming in her eyes soon stopping in front of you and bowing, the other girls doing the same thanking you and your two boys.

Luffy laughs pulling away from your shoulder smiling at the girls while Zoro keeps his head in your neck giving it light kisses not wanting to let go yet. "I'm glad your all ok" You smile at them soon seeing Sanji walking over lighting a cigarette with a large smile on his face. "Sanji, would you mind making some food for everyone, especially the girls" You can feel Zoro growl against your neck at the cooks name but you run your fingers through his hair to try and calm him down which seems to work as he hums into your neck. Sanji smiles at you and glides over swaying a little with slight hearts in his eyes "of course Y/N-Chan, I'll make your favorite too... come on lady's I'll cook you the best meal you've ever had" The cook turns to the girls who giggle at him but the cook blushes bright when Rin hugs his arm and jumps a little in excitement "Thank you so much" Rin smiles making Sanji's nose bleed a little, but he manages to compose himself and wipe it away. Luffy wanted to jump up and join them, but he also wanted to stay with you so he opted for the next best thing "Hay Sanji can you bring me some meat" The captain smiles big getting the cook's attention away from the girls, even though Sanji groaned at the request you could see his small smile "Of course captain" The blonde gives you one last smile before heading up the stairs and to the kitchen the lady's following him after thanking you and your boys again.

From the other end of the ship Nami calls out to your captain with a small smile "Hay Luffy, were gonna head to the next island where we'll meet up with Barto's and Cavendish's crews, ok?" Luffy smiles at the navigator who's standing by the wheel of the ship and waves back "Awesome, tell them to bring meat" You couldn't help but laugh a little at seeing Nami's face drop at the order "And booze" Zoro mumbles into your neck but Luffy heard and nodded yelling again at the navigator "Oh! and Booze too" Nami face palmed as Usopp stands next to her patting her shoulder to comfort her. Pulling away from your neck Zoro kisses your cheek working his way over to your lips which you gladly kiss back, feeling needy the swordsman grabs your chin with his fingers sliding his tongue into your mouth which you accept gripping onto his hair and pulling him closer. Luffy leans back watching you and his first mate make out while giving you a smile, happy to have you back on the ship. Pulling away breathless the swordsman lets your chin go so Luffy can cup your cheek peppering your face with kisses making you laugh "Luffy, stop" you push lightly while letting out a small laugh, it hurt a little when he kissed under your eye or on your cheek bone but you didn't really want it to stop. "At least kiss me properly" You sigh running your hands up his chest and too his shoulders, the captain soon stops kissing your face placing his lips on yours, humming into it you lick his lower lip wanting more.

Luffy smiles shoving his tongue into your mouth letting it roam around before meeting yours, his hands starting to wonder finding the place he always loves to place his hand, lost in the moment you didn't stop him just enjoy the feeling of his lips on yours. The captain's hand makes it to your thigh lightly squeezing it making you jump and groan in pain pushing him away "Sorry" Luffy gasps pulling his hands away from you, suddenly feeling something wet and warm coat his hand "Shit babe, your bleeding" Zoro yells pressing his hands to your thigh, you yell in pain but force yourself not to push him away letting the swordsman hold pressure since its bleeding through the bandage. Hearing your yell of pain Chopper jumps up and runs over to you from where he was making sure the rest of the crew is ok "Y/n, what happened?" The doctor yells pulling out his med kit from his backpack and helping Zoro stop the bleeding. "It's ok, it's not your fault" You state placing your hand on Luffy's cheek as he looks over his hand covered in your blood "I-I'm sorry" The captain flicks his eyes to you then your leg gulping at the blood seeping through Zoro's fingers "It's ok, you didn't mean too, it's been on and off bleeding all day... your ok honey" You place your hands on his cheeks making the captain look at your face and not your leg, he nods before placing his forehead against yours making you smile. He hates that your comforting him but it does help, when he swore the blood on his hand the first thing that came to mind was Ace.

This whole time all he could think of was not letting it be like marineford, it was over now but your still not out of danger and the blood on his hand made him realize that "Luffy, It's ok really, I'm not going anywhere" You whisper noticing that glazed over look in his eyes but with your words he comes back to you giving you a small smile "I should be the one comforting you" The captain places a light kiss on your lips before wiping your blood off his hand, you didn't mind comforting him, you hate seeing him go into a PTSD episode but over time those have become less and less frequent which is good. You were also grateful for the distraction, focusing on Luffy meant you could distract yourself from the pain of Zoro's shifting hands and Chopper bandaging your leg as tight as he can to stop the bleeding until he can get it stitched up later. Chopper wipes his hands on a towel before handing it to Zoro letting him do the same before looking over your now bandaged leg, the blood seeped through a little but it was much slower than before soon stopping completely. "Lets get you into the medical room, you can rest and i can patch you up" Letting Luffy go you look at the doctor nodding at him before feeling Zoro put his arms under you to pick you up, wrapping your arms around his neck you lean into him as he follows Chopper to the medical bay while Luffy jumps up running after you and Zoro. "Their ok Captain, you don't need to worry" Zoro reassures watching his captains worried eyes lock onto you but the swordsman's words seem to make Luffy calm down a bit earning a small smile and nod from the captain.

Making it into the medical room the swordsman places you on the bed being careful of your leg as Chopper grabs everything he needs, Luffy spins a chair around and sits on it not wanting to be in the doctors way but also wanting to be close, he rests his arms and head on the back of the chair watching Chopper dig through a few medical boxes. Sitting up you look over your badly hurt and cold legs as the reindeer makes his way back being helped onto the bed by Zoro, placing the medical box's down the doctor opens them and takes out a few things "I'm gonna put an IV in to make things easier, ok?" The doctor asks waiting for you to nod before taking your hand and wiping it with an antiseptic cotton ball, his eyes widen though when the makeup on your hand comes off showing a big bruise. Your breath hitched in your throat completely forgetting the fact you had makeup on this whole time, it surprised you since even with all the tears, sweating and peoples touches, it didn't come off. "Oh, i- urm" you didn't know what to say as Zoro sat next to you on the bed leaning over to see what you look so sad about "Y/N? Can i see your other hand?" the doctor asks but you sigh putting your hands on your lap "It's probably gonna be the same, I-i pissed him off this morning" You look down at your lap only to hear Luffy let out a small laugh earning a glare form Zoro and Chopper "That's my girl, always the fighter" The captains words shocked you but it also filled you with a sense of pride, even though you were hurt Luffy was proud of you for never giving up or backing down.

With a small smile you place your hand on Zoro's shoulder getting him to look at you, he sighs at your face but gives in deciding not to yell at Luffy "I'll clean it all off if you have more of that antiseptic stuff, It doesn't seem like it will come off normally" Chopper nod when realizing your talking to him before turning to the swordsman "Zoro, there's a cloth on the side and in the cupboard there's a big white bottle marked antiseptic, can you get it please?" The Doctor asks with a smile, the green haired man couldn't refuse the reindeer and nods standing up and heading over to get what he needed. "Is there anything else i should know about?" Chopper asks growing concerned that you might be hiding something from them or forcing yourself to forget. You think for a moment then remember your eye and the contact they put in it to make it look normal so you tilted your head back and used your finger to try and get it out. "What are you doing?" Luffy yells in surprise almost making Zoro drop the stuff in his hands as he turns to look over at you seeing you trying to get something out of your eye "They put a contact in so it would look normal" You state managing to grab the contact and pull it out, blinking a few times you look back to your boys who both look at you in shock, Chopper leans up and takes your cheek making you face him, so he can have a better look. Its blood shot but right around the iris is a thin ring of dark red blood "Can you see through it?" The doctor asks as Zoro makes his way back over and sits on the bed placing the stuff down, you nod your head at Chopper who smiles in reprocess.

Taking the cloth and wetting it with antiseptic Chopper wipes your other hand seeing that it isn't baldy bruised, Zoro take the cloth off him and start wiping your face as the doctor puts in the IV. You hiss at the pain in your hand and face as the swordsman wipes under your eye showing the bark blue and purple skin under the makeup, Luffy's eyes widen when seeing your black eye and cut cheek, his anger boiling as Zoro wipes away more and more of the makeup on your face and arms. Zoro clenched his jaw as more and more of your injuries where revealed, he can't believe all of this seemed to be from this morning. "Is it bad?" You ask after the swordsman puts the stained cloth down, they both looked shocked and angry as they stared at anything but you. "He did this to you?" Your captain asks through gritted teeth his hands gripping the chair he's sitting in, remembering what happened you cover your mouth and nod trying to stop your sobs and tears from falling. Zoro wraps his arms around you letting you bury your head into his neck as you cry the memories flooding back and the pain returning. Starting to hyperventilate Chopper acts quickly giving you some medication to help with the pain and to help you calm down as Luffy stands up making his way over to the bed and leaning over placing his hand on your cheek "Your safe now Muffin, we won't let him touch you" Luffy gives you a small smile as you lift your head up and way from Zoro's neck "Slow your breathing babe" Zoro whispers as he strokes your hair, leaning in the captain kisses the red cut on your forehead while his hand lightly runs up and down your back.

Luffy places kisses down your face soon getting to your bruised and blood shot eye which you close feeling him kiss it lightly a few times before going to your lips giving you a small kiss. Managing to calm down and breath normal again you sit back up, Zoro places his hand lightly against your cheek feeling you lean into him wanting to take in the feeling of his touch, the swordsman smiles leaning closer lightly brushing his lips against yours, when you lean into it he lightly presses his lips to yours before kissing the bruises and cuts on your cheek and neck. "My Strong lady" Zoro whispers against you neck, it sparks something in you, making you want to cry out of happiness but a part of you couldn't believe that you were strong, you couldn't stop him from hurting you or stop the guards from shoving your head under water. Noticing you spiraling again Luffy cups your face mirroring what you do to him in times like these "Hay, Y/N your ok, your fine, you safe with us" The captain whispers trying to remember your tone of voice, it makes Zoro smile seeing how much you all learn from each other. The swordsman rubs your back while looking over your face seeing it twist in pain and anger. "I couldn't stop him" You whisper taking Luffy's hands off your face so you can look away only now noticing that Chopper has been cleaning and bandaging your legs this whole time, luckily though he hasn't gotten to your thigh yet not wanting to disturb the clot that has most likely formed by now.

Luffy tries to take your face back but you shake your head at him your body stating to tense up and shake "You did well-" Zoro tries to say but your head shoots back to look at him, your eyes filled with a mixture of anger and fear "No i didn't... Once that collar was on i just gave in and the one time i stood up i- i could have gotten one of the girls killed" you almost yell gritting your teeth as tears start to fall down your face "It was humiliating, i hated every second with that disgusting pervert" Your hands grip into fists as you stare down at the sheets. They didn't know what to say or do as you ramble and rant about what happened this morning but as you spoke things got worse. Zoro's heart broke hearing what that dragon did to you and what you had to go through, how he starved you all, made you feel like an object and beat you when he dared to touch you. Luffy's anger grew tilting his hat down so his hate filled eyes were covered by his hat, he wanted to tune out what you were saying but his mind wouldn't let him, all he could think of was tearing that man apart for what he did to you. Finally, calming down and finishing your rant that you couldn't even register just happened a long silence filled the room until Zoro leaned in and wrapped you up in a hug making you release a breath you didn't know you were holding "We've got you baby" Those simple words meant so much to you but it still didn't stop the hurt you felt. Luffy reaches his hand out and places it on your arm, he wanted to comfort you but he also didn't want you to see the hate filled look on his face "Zoro's right, We've got you muffin" you can't help but smile at the nickname while leaning into the swordsman.

As time passed Chopper fixed your legs, arms then your face, the drugs he gave you helped with the pain and tiredness you were feeling. Robin was kind enough to drop off some clothes for you which Zoro and Luffy helped you into, with the dress off and in warm clothes and comfy socks you felt free and a bit more relaxed. Luffy sat back in his chair holding your hand while Zoro sat next to you on the bed his arm around your shoulder as you lean your side into him resting your head on his shoulder. Chopper was almost done with the big bruise and scratch on your side, which you didn't know you had until your dress was off, so that meant the next thing would be your thigh. You didn't want to see it, you didn't want your tattoo to be gone but you knew deep down it was. Chopper finished wrapping a bandage around your side sitting back a bit to make sure it looked right before going to your thigh to remove the bandages but you grabbed his hand making Luffy and Zoro look at you in confusion. "Wait.. I-i'm not ready to see it yet" You tear up a little, a part of you hopes that when you take the bandage off your tattoo will still be there but you know that isn't the case and seeing it will just confirm it. Zoro sighs feeling you shake a little so moves you forward, so he can sit behind you letting your back rest against his chest while he takes your hands holding them in his to stop you from grabbing Chopper again "Please baby, just let him work" The swordsman begs placing a kiss on your head but you shake your head mentally not prepared to see it.

The doctor looks you over noticing your teary eye, but he needed to do his job. "I really need to deal with this Y/N, its stopped bleeding but it needs to be cleaned and properly assessed" Chopper places his hand on your leg giving it a light rub in reassurance while watching your tired eyes look over your thigh "I know your tired and everything is overwhelming you but i need to fix this" The doctor begs giving you big eyes which you can't help but look at, you knew he was just trying to help but it scared you. Zoro squeezes your hands before pulling them into your chest while laying his chin on your shoulder trying to see face. "Come on baby, it's the last thing, then you can eat and sleep ok?" Zoro kisses your cheek, feeling you relax into him a bit, Luffy leans closer when you don't answer and takes one of your hands from Zoro "Muffin please don't make me order you" He smile at you as he jokes but you could hear a bit of seriousness in his voice, reluctantly you nod watching as Chopper puts some new gloves on before starting to undo the bandages. Luffy sighs seeing your eyes still focused on your thigh, your breath quickens and your eyes water making his heart ache. "Don't worry Muffin, I'm sure Chopper can fix it" Luffy smiles trying to reassure you as he squeezes your hand but you can't help but break at those words, tears spilling out of your eyes as you shut your eyes tight, there's nothing to fix and you couldn't stop it from happening. In a way you felt like you betrayed your crew, your captain, your lovers, it hurt your heart that it was gone forever.

Luffy kisses your hand while Zoro rocks your side to side slightly trying to calm you down as you gasp for breath with tears streaming down your face. "There's nothing to fix, she took it from me" Your voice breaks as you sob leaning back into Zoro slightly turning in his arms so your can shove your head into his neck. Luffy raises an eyebrow at your words but Zoro holds you closer seeming to know before the bandages are even removed. "It's ok baby, i know, i know" The swordsman whispers to you resting his head on yours as he strokes your hair and back trying to sooth you "Y/n? It's gonna be ok, Choppers the best doctor in the world" Luffy gets up out of his chair to sit on the bed next to you so he can wipe the tears form your cheek but you shake your head unable to get words out. Chopper gulps when taking the last of the bandages away seeing a big patch of skin missing where your tattoo used to be "I'll give you a nerve blocker and then fix this up so don't worry" Chopper digs through the medical bag as Luffy turns to see what the doctors on about, his eyes widen at the sight and now understands what you mean, anger boils in him knowing how much that tattoo meant to you. Zoro grabs Luffy's shoulder snapping him out of his hate filled gaze on your leg trying to get some help in calming you down "I'm sorry baby" Zoro whispers to you kissing the top of your head while Luffy leans closer placing his hand on your cheek giving it light rubs with his thumb. Pulling out what he needs Chopper goes to your hip trying to find the nerves he needs, when the doctor injects you jump a little in pain letting out a small whimper.

The captain sighs pulling your hand to him and resting it on his chest letting your fingers grip onto his skin before relaxing managing to feel Luffy's heart beat, it was calm and steady despite him being angry seconds before. "I know it hurts muffin but you still have us, we're not going to leave you" Panting a little you managed to open your eyes to see the captains face and the loving look he sent you, it helped you calm down bit and stop the excessive amount of tears falling down your face. "Get some sleep, it's been a long day" Zoro kisses your head as he leans back against the bed frame pulling you with him so you can hopefully sleep. Gulping you nod letting your tears dry up, the nerve blocker was working wonders, you couldn't feel a thing as Chopper worked hard to fix up your thigh, so it was easy for you to let your eyes close and relax into Zoro's warm chest. Luffy smiles at you and places a kiss on your hand pulling it off his chest to let it rest on Zoro's chest "Someone will always be with you, ok?" The captain whispers knowing that being alone in a time like this is scary, so he wanted to reassure you that it won't happen "Thank you... I love you both... Thank you Chopper" You whisper finally managing to talk again, Chopper smiles and let's out a few happy hums as he fixes your leg while Luffy lets out a small chuckle. "I love you to baby" Zoro kisses your head again as Luffy leans closer kissing your cheek "I love you muffin" The captain gives you loving glance before turning to Zoro and lightly kissing his lips. The swordsman smiles into it kissing back a bit harder before pulling away letting Luffy rest his forehead against his "I love you Zo" Luffy whispers as the swordsman brings a hand up to cup the captains cheek "I love you too, my captain".

i’m new to the whole beatles rpf (i am an rpf veteran though i wrote 75k words of michael jackson fanfiction in middle school and 15k of queen freshman year of hs 😐) so what are like the tenets of beatles rpf. what’s the need to know.

YELLS that's so fucking valid of you I can't even lie

and HMMMM okay I can only speak for mclennon bc I observe the other ships from a distance but don't chomp at the bit about it but here's some things that come up A Lot in fics

john & paul met on july 6, 1957 at a church garden party. john played "come go with me" & got the words wrong while paul watched from the audience and Fell In Love. after, they officially met. paul took john's guitar, tuned it, then flipped it upside down (he's left handed) and played 20 flight rock perfectly. john was smitten and the rest was history

oh shit edit I forgot! john used to climb the drainpipe into pauls room. VITAL info that comes up so often

they had group wanking sessions (beat the meatles lmfao) & they'd call out the names of various female celebrities during it (john would apparently call out male names as a joke to throw people off which 💀)

STUUUUUU. we love stu, paul hates stu. stuart sutcliffe was a boy john met at art college & he became His Boy Bestie instead of paul for a while which had paul FUMING. john & stuart lived together for a while & in mclennon lore john was in love with him (& I do also think that lmao). which brings us to

HAMBURG. in 1960 the beatles went to hamburg & stayed several months in the world's dingiest room. they shared bunk beds & stayed up all night playing music & took pills (prellies) to stay the fuck awake. stuart went with as their bassist & paul hated him soooo bad so bad. in part bc stu did not take the band very seriously & was not good at playing and paul is a notorious perfectionist. fun hamburg facts! here stuart met astrid, his future fiance. and she took them to a gay bar lmao. also, at one point, in the most heinous and toxic move, john walked in on paul fucking a girl and lost it. he cut up her clothes with a pair of scissors and then started stabbing the wardrobe 💀 normal behavior. the whole thing was just drugs and sex and music. great fic setting always.

eventually they got back. george was deported first bc he was underage & then paul and the drummer lit a fucking condom on fire where they were staying and got deported too. john stayed an extra bit & when he got back didn't tell anyone. in the meantime, stu stayed in germany w astrid and paul Got A Job at his dad's insistence bc they all thought the band was over when john didn't show back up. but eventually he did. and made paul pick between the job and the band...... or rather, his dad and john. and paul picked john.

Some Months Later john took paul to paris for his 21st birthday. 200000000000 fics about this. all legendary all gay.

stu died </3

there's barely any fics of the touring days which is tragic I think there should be 60000. I guess the only thing that comes up semi often from that era is that they played lovers in a play, pyramus & thisbe, and paul named two kittens pyramus & thisbe. and gave pyramus (the character he played) to john. not joking at all.

next biggest Canon McLennon Event everyone brings up is lsd. george & john got into lsd first & ringo tried it as well. paul was extremely reluctant to and this caused a bit of a rift between him and john. eventually though, they did trip together and the first night is McLennon Fic Lore. john accidentally dropped acid in the studio (smth he avoided) & was out of it. almost jumped off the roof. paul took him back to his home (cavendish) & took lsd with him. there's a lot to this trip I can't even summarize but it was gay and there's lots of fics abt this incident

was Not the first time paul took lsd though which brings us to the Next Big Tropey Players: tara browne and robert fraser. both are men paul hung around in 1967 and there's looots of fics where he was gay w them and john is Seething

india! I'm not an india truther so I don't really get into these but the fandom at large thinks Something Happened during the beatles' 1968 trip to india. this usually takes the form of john confessing to paul and them fucking and then paul turning him down. background lore for many many breakup fics

and that's the stuff that tends to come up Most Often. there's so much lore I could probably write an entire novel & a lot of it gets referenced but these are some of the biggest players lmao

WIP Okay It's Wednesday Now

Since it's actually Wednesday, have the next bit of the Phillip piece, featuring the reason he is actually in France!

BTW, this is currently titled Zombie after the Cranberries song. Kinda tempted to change it to Keep the Home Fires Burning for period accuracy, but.......... We'll see.

-

Perhaps the Germans could just drop a bomb on the gravediggers. Then he could get some sleep.

Really, how many bodies did they have to bury?

There had been a dinner the previous night for Old Etonians. Phillip had gone, of course. Remembering the men seated around the table, he was fairly certain they could have all been buried by now. Then again, perhaps they had. Everyone had been talking about it today, about the fighting at the Somme. Nothing concrete of course, but messages coming in and predictions being made. How long it would last (someone had jokingly suggested until Christmas). How many men would die. Who would win. Things like that.

There wouldn’t have been time to bring bodies all the way from the Front, would there? They couldn’t be burying the men who had sat next to him the night before, eating and laughing and asking him how the heir was coming along. A few had been sympathetic, mostly people like Eliot Cavendish who had joined the war late, kept at home by their parents in the name of the title and only allowed to leave when there was a baby boy in the nursery. Most of them, though, seemed to think he was doing it on purpose. That he was only in France at all because it meant he couldn’t have a son, and therefore wouldn’t wind up in a trench. At one point he’d almost come to blows with Samuel Warrington over it. He supposed he could try telling his mother about how he was being seen as a coward among the others and even General Headquarters wasn’t enough to count as ‘doing his bit’.

She’d probably just use that as another reason for him to come home and have more children. Could a woman even get pregnant if she had the flu? He certainly couldn’t imagine making the effort.

The last time he’d been home on leave, he’d paid a social call out of uniform. A girl on the street had approached him and tried to hand him a white feather. He’d witheringly given her his name and rank, and informed her that his uniform was being altered (it wasn’t a lie. He’d lost weight. The food wasn’t good at General Headquarters either, although some of it hadn’t come from tins). She had apologised profusely, of course, and thanked him for his service, calling him brave and several other nice things that people generally liked. He’d walked off and left her standing in front of a recruitment poster, the king leveling a finger at passers by over her head.

With a sigh, he sat up and dug Charles’s last letter out of the pile, rereading it even though there wasn’t much to it and he had it memorised. He would eventually move it to another stack, kept tucked out of the way, to be taken home on his next leave. It was a small collection, but growing, and sure to grow exponentially after this next push. They were the last letters, written by men who would never write him again. Men who had done their bit and whose war was over, permanently.

If he went home, how long would it be before no one was left alive to call him a coward? How long before the top brass cared more about having bodies in the field than heirs to their noble houses? It wasn’t that he wanted to be in a trench. Nobody wanted that, not if they were sane at any rate. He just wanted it to stop, that was all, the feeling of being in the wrong place and doing the wrong thing. Of being pulled in two completely opposite directions.

(this bio includes mentions of pregnancy and parental death. proceed with caution of you find these topics triggering)

Dolores Wells was born the youngest daughter of Daphne and August Wells. Consistent reports from her parents (and her oldest sister) say that Louie was a "very good baby" and that her only true flaw was that she had a very disarming gaze -- even from her earliest hours.

Louie grew up as a happy tagalong to her older siblings -- ignorant to the fact that someday (through circumstances and age) they would end up leaving the house one by one. Everyone who moved out experienced a cold shoulder from Louie for an extended period of time. She never liked change.

Clever as a student, Louie did well academically but never particularly thrived socially. No one was unkind to her, and she engaged happily when necessary, but she didn't particularly seek out the slumber parties and shopping trips of other girls her age. She was more than happy to come home and explore on the beach or curl up next to a window with a book.

Louie met her first true friend in the astronomy club in high school. Paired with Salvador Cavendish, nights under the stars bloomed into a secret teenage romance that ended disastrously at prom.

After high school, Louie pursued her love of nature and her parent's activism and pursued a degree in environmental science -- later going on to get her Master's degree in aquatic biology and conservation planning.

Over the years, Sal came in and out in her life in various degrees of commitment -- on and off, fights and make ups, never settling on commitment. Three years ago, Louie discovered she was pregnant as a result of a one-night stand the two of them had had. After much thought, Louie decided to keep the baby -- a boy that would have the name August (known as 'Gus' to pretty much everyone).

Gus became the bright light to the family following the sudden and shocking passing of her father.

Currently, Louie lives in a cabin on the beach near the lighthouse. She spends most of her days outdoors doing research for her studies and exploring tidepools with Gus. She and Sal share split custody -- intent on showing him that the three of them are a family in spite of the fact they don't all live together.

fun facts.

strong swimmer. has saved two people drowning in the bay on different occasions. she keeps a citizen medal in a sock drawer.

only bought a car (cheap junker) when gus was born. now that he's older, the two of them mostly walk or he rides in a front wagon of her bicycle.

drink of choice is whiskey neat.

has a closet in her house that is stacked floor to ceiling in handwritten research journals.

has an orange cat named "toots". he is fourteen years old, deaf, mostly blind, and has a half-bald tail.

connections.

sister of @buddywellls and @delilahcarreno

shares a child with @salvadorcavendish

you said you work at a library, what kinds of books do you like? :)

I really like fantasy! I’m a sucker for dragons, the Eragon series and Wings of Fire series will both always have a place in my heart. :3

It’s also kinda hard to pin down a way to describe my book tastes cause I just pick up anything that looks interesting to me.

Something I read more recently that I really liked was “the free people’s village” by Sim Kern, and one from my childhood I still really like is “the Cavendish home for boys and girls” by Claire Legrand.

[librarycards]

five books i like: consent: a memoir by natasha lehrer, the haunting of hill house by shirley jackson, my dark vanessa by kate elizabeth russell, sunshine by robin mckinley, aaaand--the cavendish home for boys and girls by claire legrand! love this idea <3

love a creepy + uncanny list!

recs:

The Deer, Daniel Carrera

Dark Neighbourhood, Vanessa Onwuemezi

The Seas, Samantha Hunt

Bonus: also recced elsewhere but I think you'd enjoy Fantasian by Larissa Pham too!

I hit 100 followers a while ago. It's not the biggest thing ever I know, but I also didn't really expect anything like that when I started this silly little blog about a mysterious lady and her goofy samurai gang. For 50 we did 27 favorites. People seemed to like it. Main cast taking up a bunch of spots is boring, though I do think a few of these could potentially end up in the main one. For now though that's Nami, Brook, & Jinbei. This time is more measured, I actually thought about a Sweet 16 and why. It's fun to see how it changes over time:

Cabbage: I love pretty idiots in anime. This one was necessary to keep me invested in Dressrosa. But there is a real amount of nobility there and the story of actually being a fallen prince obsessed with stardom is a good one! Most little guy Leo is surging but Cavendish is still my favorite of the Grand Fleet captains.

Queen Otohime: I've already said a lot about her with our Seafloor Sidestory. Such a great examination of a political leader, a civil rights icon. I've flirted with that role myself at times and always been around it as a quirk of fate...so it's cool to see someone who gets the nuances like Oda did with this story. How it plays off of Tiger's, influences someone like Jinbei. I rate Fishman Island very high and Otohime is a huge part of that.

Pudding: Pudding is such a two-faced little snot but young enough and cartoonish enough about it I think she's funny. Whole Cake is a great arc, love how she plays off of Sanji, the "Doll" element hits a little close to home.

Crocodile: He's got style, he's got grace. He'll throw sand in your face. Cool villain, loved him in Impel Down/Marineford, epitome of T-Boy swag.

Miss Goldenweek: Marianne, Goldie...such a treasure. Girl makes me laugh so much. Comically lazy but the secret weapon that was a nightmare for Luffy. Cover story that made her shine as a capable operative and Rainbow of Dreams rocks. Please come back to Cross Guild you little weirdo. I need you and Buggy playing off each other, I need Crocodile hyping up one of his superstar agents to Mihawk only for her to doze off/ask for snacks in the middle of it.

Nekomamushi: He is a massive yellow cat man. This is a great start. Had a nice theme song too. He loves lasagna but isn't an asshole like Garfield. Rising love. Samurai cat man. Then he's Kiku's lil bro and I enjoy pondering that dynamic. Goro nya nya.

Kin'emon: He was pretty funny before, making the chauvinist a simp for his classy af wife and the confused, but caring father figure to a sweetheart trans girl is hilarious. I love his devil fruit and impersonating Doffy was classic. His supernatural luck forced his way deeply into my heart.

Conis: Conis is lovely. Sweet angel girl...with a big ol bazooka she is not afraid to use. People forget Conis but I still love her. Sky Island was fun.

Jewelry Bonney: Being an angry child makes her so much more fun. Always thought she was a solid Supernova. Being such a glutton is funny. Egghead has elevated her. Interesting devil fruit, it's the one my sweetie would want to eat himself which is neat.

Izo: Izo is very, very pretty. He is also good at shooty but have you seen how pretty he is? He is also the dashing elder brother of #1 blorbo...

Kiku: I know this inclusion will surprise some of you. She's a total sweetie with hidden narrative weirdness. What's not to love and obsess over? Plus she's really tall and forgets that when hiding behind things. Imagine if we saw her trying to hide behind Chopper sticking most of his body out from behind a hiding place. That would tick us back at least one minute from midnight.

Cindry: The other Okiku and subject of our Spooky Sidestory. Maliciously compliant zombie with a showgirl vibe. Far out. Hucking plates rules as a combat style.

Ginny: Some might say she's too new. Some Might Say is a pretty good early Oasis song. Neither of those are relevant right now. I love Ginny. She's wonderful. She got done dirty because flashback characters always get done dirty.

Hina: Hina pleased to be included. Hina pleased. She was our Shackled Sidestory and I love her. The cool vibe mixed with a couple of childish traits. One of our truly good Marines who probably hasn't gotten high enough up the ladder to really know how depraved the World Government is. Cool fruit too, perfect for a Marine.

Monet: Punk Hazard came out right before I went into grad school. I love thinking of her as the beleaguered, far more talented assistant to Caesar Clown who I hate and should just die. Harpies are also classic cool and I will not accept statements to the contrary. I love her snow power too.

Gecko Moria: Touched on this in a post about him for Halloween. He's grown on me a lot as a villain as I've gotten old enough to understand him. There's a realism in his motivations that makes him more of a unique villain. I actually believe if he was serious from the start Luffy would never have stood a chance. Shadow fruit is cool and Thriller Bark is an excellent arc.

Bellemere, Kawamatsu, Denjiro, and Hancock would be the honorable mentions. But these are my true One Piece loves.

[confoundedpangolin]
